Liftoff is a tycoon-like game where each player has their own launchpad. Players will launch rockets with the goal of reaching high altitudes to complete missions and earn both of the two currencies - research and money. Research and money can be spent on unlocking newer and better rockets in the tech tree, starting from rockets as small as the Scout X-1 to massive giants such as the Saturn V. Players can also spend research and money on upgrading certain systems around their launchpad, like fuel tanks, research labs, and radio towers. Upgrades will directly increase profit from each flight. The goal is to reach the highest altitudes possible to earn more money and unlock every rocket. Missions include deploying satellites and sounding.
